Leitão Amaro considers that the current statelessness law has a "window" for illegal migration networks
The Minister of the Presidency has called on Parliament to revise the recent law on statelessness, claiming that procedural flaws allow illegal migration networks to manipulate the system. According to the Minister, the current law facilitates residency authorization and financial support for applicants before a thorough assessment of the validity of their claims is completed.
Why it mattersWhile no rules have changed yet, the government is seeking legislative corrections to the statelessness law, which may lead to stricter scrutiny, procedural changes, or new requirements for those applying for residency under this status in the future.
